One of the few--perhaps the only--non-gross things about the whole Sony email hacking debacle was the revelation that mega-dreamboat Idris Elba is pretty much the number one choice to play James Bond after Daniel Craig quits playing James Bond. I mean, I've never seen a James Bond movie, but Idris Elba is pretty much…

Wealthy White Guys Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity demonstrated their ongoing obliviousness this week by completely ignoring everything that matters about issues like rape and child abuse, throwing out incredibly dumb red herrings on the issues instead. First, Limbaugh asserted on his radio show that “no means yes if you know how to spot…

Listen, I'm not about to throw Rush Limbaugh a parade or anything, but perhaps for the first time in his life, the conservative shock jock actually let a critic get a word in edgewise. Via Jezebel, a trans woman named Tina called into Limbaugh's radio show to criticize his coverage of TIME's Laverne…

While recently shopping in Zurich, Switzerland, a shop clerk refused to show Oprah Winfrey a purse because it was "too expensive." But Rush Limbaugh wants to assure us all that this didn't happen because of racism against Black women, but because Oprah is "fat." [Media Matters For America] Corporate lobbyists representing Macy'…

Sometimes terrible things happen, and they're so unbelievably heinous, all you can do is gasp in horror. That's the general response most of us have had to the harrowing story of Michelle Knight, Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus -- three women kidnapped, chained and held against their will in Cleveland, Ohio, for a decade. But…

Today in Things Rush Limbaugh Grossly Misunderstands About America in 2013: he raved on his show about how Beyoncé's new song "Bow Down" is an ode to wifely submission, praising her for doing a "total 180," marrying her "rich" husband Jay-Z and "she now understands it's worth it to bow down." Now, had…

Rush Limbaugh is getting the Hollywood treatment, courtesy of John Cusack. The (liberal) actor's production company plans to start work next year on a movie about Limbaugh, with Cusack playing the leading role himself, reports AP. Except for the fact that Betty Thomas is directing, no other details are known. Limbaugh, though, will be sure…

While trying to promote peace and justice throughout the United States, a Catholic social justice group called Nuns On The Bus have been threatened with a "pistol whipping." On a radio show last week, host Jan Mickelson talked about the nuns recent protest of a conservative budget plan and asked his guest Rep. Tom Latham…

[W]hat I’ve learned [after being called a "slut" by Rush Limbaugh on his show] has less to do with Mr. Limbaugh specifically and more to do with a part of our population that has this view. Because frankly, you don’t go on national radio and talk for several days about something that no one want…

During his (frighteningly) popular radio talk show on June 13, Rush Limbaugh didn’t hesitate to add Catholic nuns to his oh-so-scary list of "feminazis." Limbaugh voiced his concern over the Vatican’s "doctrinal assessment" of the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), where the Vatican had determined the LCWR to have "serious doctrinal problems" because they…

I'm fairly certain that Rush Limbaugh could take Goodnight, Moon and twist it into a tale of shrill harpies hellbent on John Bobbitt-ing the male species and strangling newborn babies with their long, flowing strands of armpit hair. That is the only explanation for his wildly inaccurate (and, it should go without saying,…

Funny thing about March Madness -- it's now April! But we've made it to our final two, bat shit nuts competitors. And it's a political crazy-off as the lady-loathing state of Arizona goes head-to-head with slut-shaming Rush Limbaugh. So, who is the coo-coo for cocoa puffs champion? You decide! [poll id="4221"]…

Whoa, we're getting down to brass tacks here. In one corner, we have Noted Cro-Mag and All Around Conservative H.R. Puff-N-Stuff Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh's been blathering over the airwaves for years, spewing his particular brand of toxic anti-lady crap. It's Rush's completely bombastic misogynistic drivel that's taken him all the way from the…

In one corner we have Rush Limbaugh, the blowhardy conservative talk radio host who recently referred to law student Sandra Fluke as a "slut" because she wanted to testify on Capitol Hill about birth control. To wit, Rush said, “If we are going to pay for your contraceptives, and thus pay for you…

God bless Gloria Allred: the attorney has fired off a letter to the Palm Beach County Attorney's Office to notify them that their most noxious resident, Rush Limbaugh, broke the law. (Again.) It turns out Florida has an obscure defamation statue classifying the "false and malicious questioning of a woman's chastity" as a…

One spring afternoon when I was in high school in New York City, I had a bizarre health scare. A friend and I had been lounging by the Hudson River pretending to read and philosophize but really gossiping about our schoolmates — acting exactly our age. That afternoon, I had miserable symptoms as I always did whe…

This lion Mary is a total whore. She had sex with both a tiger and lion and then gave birth to a tigon cub and a lion cub. It's a world's first! But obviously the important part is that this lion has two baby daddies. What. A. Slut.

"I thought about Malia and Sasha, and one of the things I want them to do as they get older is to engage in issues they care about. Even ones I may not agree with them on. I want them to be able to speak their mind in a civil and thoughtful way. And I…

Taking a page out of those girls you went to high school with who can't stop smugly posting every detail of their perfect lives on Facebook, Lady Gaga shaded America's youngest grandma Taylor Swift just perfectly on Twitter yesterday. It all started when Jaime King's unborn child's godmother tweeted about Gaga, using the preferred…
